Sidelines: Area teams forced to alter schedules again

Published: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 12:21 AM.

The cancellation of school for Wednesday and today has once again forced basketball teams to adjust their schedules within Alamance-Burlington Schools.

Other schools have rescheduled games as well.

Eastern Alamance’s girls’ and boys’ games against visiting McMichael slated for tonight have been pushed back to Feb. 8. That alleviates some pressure on the Eagles, who would have played four games in five days from Thursday to Monday.

Eastern Guilford’s non-conference matchups against HighPointAndrews have been moved back a week, to next Wednesday.

The BurlingtonSchool canceled its games against CommunityBaptistSchool, which would have been played next Thursday.

Burlington ChristianAcademy’s games for Tuesday have been pushed to next Thursday. The BCA girls’ team will play host to Oak Ridge Military at 4 p.m. and the BCA boys’ team will play host to Westchester Country Day at 7 p.m.

■ROBINSON’S SCHOOL RECORD:Eastern Alamance point guard Lamont Robinson captured a school record earlier this month with 15 assists in a single game, with those coming in an 81-65 victory against McMichael on Jan. 17.

The previous record of 13 assists was shared by JamesOn Curry and Derrick Mann.

■CELEBRITY SIGHTING: Former North Carolina star Eric Montross was in attendance for last week’s game between Carrboro and Graham. Montross’ son, Andrew, is a sophomore forward for Carrboro.

Eric Montross said he’s able to attend most of Carrboro’s games, with the only hinderance coming when his duties for providing color analysis to North Carolina games interfere.
